It is the world’s largest donation of Oxygen Concentrators to any country.The second consignment of 270 concentrators is scheduled to arrive next week.

These concentrators will be distributed by Sahayata Trust to different healthcare organizations in Telangana and other states.According to Sahayata Trust CEO Syed Aneesuddin, “The relief effort will add oxygen to the efforts of NGOs scrambling to procure oxygen to save as many lives they can.” There are nearly 22 different organizations including Access Foundation, Safa Baitul Maal, SDIF. He thanked the IMRC, USA.The devices will be allocated on as per-need basis to different NGOs across Hyderabad, Lucknow, Allahabad, Delhi, Ranchi, Bhopal, and other cities.

For the first time, different NGOs across international borders joined hands for the noble cause at a time when several lives are being lost across India due to a shortage of Oxygen cylinders and oxygen concentrators during the second wave of Covid-19. The arrival of oxygen concentrators in India is a meticulously coordinated relief effort by UK-based charities managed by the Indian diaspora including Maahir Charity (UK), Deccan Medical College Alumni Association (UK), and Medical Aid (UK) in coordination with IMRC, USA, the parent body of Sahayata Trust.
